Title:  MCRY 1256 heading for some R&R in the shed
Description:  After pulling the last train ride of the day, Mid-Continent's current primary motive power heads back across the road to the engine shed. This switcher locomotive is a B-L-H/Whitcomb RS-4-TC-1A. From what I've been told it used to be in service at the nearby Badger Army Ammunition Plant.

MCRY 1256 stands ready to take the first train of the day
Title:  MCRY 1256 stands ready to take the first train of the day
Description:  The somewhat incongrous combo of mid-century diesel switchers hauling early 20th century varnish has ruled at Mid-Continent since the steam locomotives all went out of service. That should change in the near future with the significant progress on #2, and a few more years down the road with 1385. 2024 edit: That statement didn't age well, nearly nine years on from this photo No. 2 is in Orgeon while 1385 is still sl...ow...ly being pieced back together at Spec Machine.
